my mckinney 1 peice is stuck in my rb25 transmission. i went to install it and it went in a little was and stopped. so i tapped it a little with a rubber hammer to try and get it going. Then i thought it would be a good idea to stop and take it out, but it doesn't want to come out of the transmission...

help please...thank you eric

also make sure you are pulling/pushing as straight as possible.

Wiggle it evenly in every direction and try to shoot some lube in there. It isnt about force in situations like this because you will just end up jamming it. Like Kamin said make sure the splines are clean. I used a toothbrush to fish out some grime that was in the ds yolk and on the output shaft.
